Description of the Project: 
“Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent”, was a spectator event that was broadcast live as a 60-minute show on FOX television in primetime in the USA on July 30, 2016. It also live streamed on YouTube as a global pay-per-view event. The show featured Luke Aikins as he skydived from a plane at 25,000 feet with no parachute, no wing suit…nothing but the clothes on his back. The jump landed Aikins in the Guinness Book of World Records for his no parachute, no wing suit jump from nearly 5 miles up in the air.
There's a huge chasm of difference between what Luke Aikins did in HEAVEN SENT and what Felix Baumgartner did in Red Bull Stratos.
Put simply, Felix used a parachute and a space suit in Red Bull Stratos.
In HEAVEN SENT, Luke had absolutely nothing. No parachute. No wing suit. No space suit. Yet, he landed safely.
"Stride Gum Presents Heaven Sent" generated 1.42 billion impressions. Funded entirely by Stride Gum, the show relaunched Stride Gum and its new Mad Intense flavors. (Mad Intense is Stride’s tagline). Also, Heaven Sent was part of Mondelēz’s International’s new corporate strategy of monetizing its content. Revenue streams included the selling of commercial inventory on FOX, pay-pay-view on YouTube, selling commemorative T-shirts and hats online, and the creation of Heaven Sent The Game, which was made available on iTunes and Google Play.
